FAMOUS BACARDI RUM CAKE

MY PINEAPPLE BACARDI RUM CAKE



My Pineapple Bacardi Rum Cake image

I've made the original Bacardi Rum Cake for years, but this Holiday season, I changed the recipe because my family loves Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. It turned out wonderful! I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did. FYI...the longer it sets, the better it tastes, making it the perfect gift to mail!

Provided by Marcia Parker

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup chopped pecans
1 duncan hines pineapple upside down cake mix
1 jello instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup bacardi gold rum
1 can crushed pineapple
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
extra pineapple juice, just in case
1 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour (or spray) 12-cup Bundt pan. Add the melted butter, nuts, brown sugar, 1/2 of juice from crushed pineapple, and as much of the pineapple as desired (I use about half of the can) to the prepared pan. It will appear to be a lot in the pan, but that's normal. The finished cake will look nice!
  • 2. Combine cake mix, pudding, eggs, milk, oil, 1/2 cup of rum, half can of crushed pineapple and beat for 2 minutes on high with mixer. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour. (Check at 50 minutes--if toothpick comes out clean--you're done--depends on your oven).
  • 3. Prepare glaze--Add remaining 1/2 of pineapple juice, powered sugar, 1 cup sugar, remaining 1/2 cup rum, and 1/2 stick melted butter to sauce pan and heat on. It's always good to have a little extra pineapple juice to get right flavor. This glaze will be very thin, but will absorb. Any extra that settles around the cake will be fine and will soak into any fruit you use to decorate the outside. You'll know when you taste it.
  • 4. Let cool 5 minutes and invert to serving plate. Let rest 10 minutes. Poke holes using toothpick and drizzle glaze slowly to ensure all is absorbed all over the cake. Garnish with frozen sugared raspberries and mint leaves for a special Holiday look or you can use half pineapple rings to circle around the cake.

BACARDI RUM CAKE WITH BUTTERED RUM GLAZE RECIPE



Bacardi Rum Cake with Buttered Rum Glaze Recipe image

Provided by Babycatgrandma

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans (optional, see Note)
1 package (15 ounces) yellow gluten-free cake mix
1/4 cup (half of a 3.4-ounce package) vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup Bacardi dark rum (The Cake Mix Doctor says it's okay to use light rum too which I did)
1/4 cup water
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
For the buttered rum glaze
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons Bacardi dark rum

Steps:

  • For the cake Vegetable oil spray, for misting the pan 1. Make the cake: Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly mist a 12-cup Bundt pan with vegetable oil spray. Scatter the pecans evenly in the bottom of the Bundt pan. Set the pan aside. 2. Place the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, ¹⁄³ cup of rum, and the water, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are just incorporated, 30 seconds. Stop the machine and scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat the batter until smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer, scraping down the side of the bowl again if needed. Pour the batter over the pecans in the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with the rubber spatula, and place the pan in the oven. 3. Bake the cake until it is golden brown and the top springs back when lightly pressed with a finger, 40 to 45 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, make the buttered rum glaze: Place the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until melted. Add the brown sugar and 3 tablespoons of rum, and stir to combine over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils and thickens, 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the glaze cool. 5. Transfer the Bundt pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Run a long, sharp knife around the edges of the cake, shake the pan gently, and invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely, 5 to 10 minutes longer. 6. Using a wooden skewer, poke a dozen holes in the top of the cake, being careful not to loosen the pecans. Very slowly spoon the cooled glaze over the warm cake letting it soak into the holes in the cake before adding more. Let the cake cool to room temperature, 20 minutes longer before slicing and serving. Note: If you have a nut allergy, omit the pecans and dust the pan with cinnamon sugar (see box, page 118). The cake will be just as delicious. Keep It Fresh! Store the cake in a cake saver at room temperature for up to three days. Freeze the unglazed cake, wrapped in aluminum foil, for up to one month. Let the cake thaw overnight on the kitchen counter before glazing. You might also like: The Cake Mix Doctor Gets Unbelievably Gluten-Free in Her ... Damp Apple and Almond Cake
